As far as I understood it's not friends, but friends of friends (i.e could be anyone), provided they downloaded their profile. Furthermore this is data from the shadow profile, ie. data users not even knowingly gave to Facebook, much less their friends on facebook, much less friends of friends on Facebook. It's not just emails either, but also telephone numbers. So, no. Hey, the government is reading your emails even though they know you're an American just in case there is evidence of some crime in there. Be angry over that. One doesn't exclude the other. It's also very similar, the way Facebook (and surely other companies as well) just sucks everything up it can get a hold of, in the case it might be useful some day, i.e. they might be able to squeeze the fraction of a penny from it.
